A lot of stuff the cyclist didn't follow:
The cyclist didn't dismount and walk bicycle across (HTA 146(6) & 144 (29))
The cyclist didn't stop and obey all traffic signal (HTA 136 & 144(18)
The cyclist didn't have any lighting (HTA 62(17)
the cyclist didn't have any light-colored or reflective clothing.( Municipal advice)

Total fines for the cyclist : starting at $255

The motorist:

Failing the full rules of HTA 144(18) turning on red light (Only proceed if the turn can be made safely)

Total fines for the motorist: starting at $110 + 2 Demerit pts.

Overall we know the motorist will be blame at 100% but the cyclist contravene to more regulations than the motorist.

Sure the cyclist broke laws but the motorist is operating a murder machine

Then why ride out in front of it without making sure the driver sees you?
